Connexis Infrastructure ITO has completed the revision of the unit standards listed above. The unit standards in bold have also been rolled over.
Date new versions published October 2021
Planned review date for new standards December 2026
Summary
The purpose of this revision was to revise the guidance information in three Driver Licence Endorsements unit standards, to remove NZS 5433:2012 in two Roadmarking unit standards, and to amend a Temporary Traffic Management unit standard 32208 in line with industry requirements. Two new unit standards were developed for civil engineering and civil plant operation to address gaps in industry skills and knowledge.
The unit standard revision process and the development of the new unit standards involved email consultation with industry technical advisers during July 2021.
